Walter’s Clothing

Atlanta


This throwback streetwear shop dates to 1952 and is said to have the biggest collection of street-smart kicks in town. It's often the first shop in Atlanta to receive a hot new shoe. It's certainly not fancy, but it's a Downtown icon and rumored to be a favorite of visiting NBA players.

While there are clothes for sale, why it's not called Walter's Shoes, we couldn't tell ya.
